Path Of Exile: Deal With The Bandits Quest Walkthrough
The Deal with the Bandits quest is a pivotal side quest in Act 2 of Path of Exile, offering significant rewards depending on your choices. Here's a detailed guide to help you navigate this quest and make the most out of your decisions.
Starting the Quest
Location: Reach the Forest Encampment in Act 2.
NPC Interaction: Speak with Eramir to learn about the three bandit leaders causing trouble in the region.
The Bandit Leaders
You will encounter three bandits, each offering unique passive bonuses or rewards based on your choice:
Kraityn
Location: Found in Broken Bridge (accessible from Crossroads).
Reward: If you help Kraityn by killing Alira and Oak, you will gain +8% permanent movement speed. While useful for traversing the campaign quickly, this bonus may not be the best for endgame content.
Alira
Location: Located in the Western Forest, which you can access via the Riverways.
Reward: Assisting Alira while eliminating Kraityn and Oak grants +15% to all Elemental Resistances. This is especially valuable since players typically face a 60% penalty for elemental resistances at the end of the campaign. Capping resistances is crucial for survivability in later
stages.
Oak
Location: Found in The Wetlands, accessible from the Riverways.
Reward: Helping Oak while defeating Alira and Kraityn gives you +40 maximum life. This buff is beneficial, especially for classes like the Ranger that may have limited life nodes available.
Killing All Bandits
If you choose to kill all three bandits, you will receive one extra Passive Point. After defeating them, collect their amulets and return them to Eramir in the Forest Encampment. This route is advisable if you prioritize passive skill points over the specific bonuses from each bandit.
Changing Your Decision
If you want to change your bandit choice later, you can use a vendor recipe:
Requirements: 20 Orbs of Regret and a specific amulet (the Amulet of the Bandit).
Result: This will give you a Book of Reform, allowing you to adjust your passive bonuses. However, acquiring 20 Orbs of Regret can be costly early in a league.
Conclusion
The Deal with the Bandits quest is not just a side activity but a critical decision point that can shape your character's build. Whether you choose to side with one bandit for their bonuses or kill them for passive points, consider your playstyle and build strategy. Keep track of your POE Currency and PoE items as you progress, ensuring that you invest wisely in gear that complements your character's abilities. Enjoy your journey through Wraeclast!
